Leeds United's winning start to the season has continued with Marcelo Bielsa's men earning a 2-1 win over a hard-working Bolton Wanderers side.

First-half strikes from Patrick Bamford and Samu Saiz put the hosts in control at teh break, before Erhun Oztumer pulled one back for Phil Parkinson's side on 52 minutes.

Marcelo Bielsa made eight changes to the XI that saw off Stoke and Derby in such style, as he handed full Leeds United debuts to Jamal Blackman, Jamie Shackleton, Lewis Baker, Jack Harrison, Tyler Roberts and Patrick Bamford.

But how did they get on against the Trotters? Here's our player ratings from Elland Road...

Jamal Blackman: A first start for the January signing, who had little to do in the early stages, other than a couple of takes from dead ball situations. Was almost punished for failing to keep hold of a long-range shot in the second half, but made himself big enough to put off Jonathan Gounds on the rebound. Decent low save from Yanic Wildschut in the final 20 minutes and claimed an excellent take from a high ball in stoppage time. 6

Tom Pearce: Fresh from signing his new contract in the summer, Pearce was back in the starting line-up and turned in a solid, if unspectacular performance. Looked to attack when space opned up, but this well-organised Bolton side did not give too much away. 6

Pontus Jansson: The Swede was making his first start of the season and certainly showed early signs of rust, with a series badly misplaced passes which could have ended badly. Was also quick to talk back to the referee on plenty of occasions. Improved as the second half wore on. We will no doubt see better days from the Swede as the season goes on. 5

Luke Ayling: Lined up at an unfamiliar centre-back role, to the left of Pontus Jansson. Gets a pass for his defensive work, but was better moving forward, able to bring the ball out of defence and direct it to the flanks. 6

Jamie Shackleton: A big night for the 18-year-old, as the Leeds-born academy product made his first senior start for the club. Has come up through the youth teams as a central midfielder, but played a right-back tonight, as he did in pre-season. Did not look over-awed by the occasion and and was very comfortable on the ball. Bielsa said the youngster's tenacity was one of his strengths and it showed, as he would harry the Bolton front line whenever they strayed forward, but also looked good moving the ball up the pitch, turning in a series of teasing crosses. A strong start, which offers a lot of promise for the future. 8

Shackleton has enjoyed a big few days

Lewis Baker: Yet another debutant, the Chelsea loanee looked to get forward wherever he could, with his best contribution being his devastating run from the edge of his own area to set up the second goal. Looked composed and technically very sound, but perhaps lacking in the urgency that Bielsas' first choice side have shown so far this season. 7

Kalvin Phillips: Another tidy performance from one of the players who has been transformed the most under Bielsa. Played in the same role we've seen in the previous two games where drops back into a three-man defence when the full-backs charged froward. Efficient with the ball and showed why he has become a key player under the new boss. 8

Jack Harrison: A very lively start for the Manchester City man, who claimed dead ball duty and would surge forward whenever he could. Looked to take players on and willing to take risks, which is something Bielsa has talked about when analysing his team's performance. Unlikely to supplant Hernandez or Alioski on current form, but a very good option to have on the bench, judging by this performance. 7

Samu Saiz: Again, the Spaniard as the focal point in the early stages, with his team-mates looking to get him on the ball whenever they could. Fed Bamford a number of times, including the assist for the first goal. Kept his head to fire home Leeds' second when Bolton players were flooding back into the box after Leeds broke forward

Very tempted to give him an extra mark for his plain black boots and rolled down socks. Cool as the proverbial. 8

Tyler Roberts: A quiet debut for the January signing. As is the case with every member of Bielsa's side, worked hard, but was largely on the peripheries and couldn't force his way into the game. But given the injury problems which plagued his first six months at the club, getting 70 minutes under his belt is a victory for him. 6

Bamford opened hid account for Leeds

Patrick Bamford: Another debutant and had a glorious chance to open his account in the first quarter of an hour when Saiz dinked the ball into him inside the six-yard box, but his finish was weak and off-target. But that was soon forgotten as he helped himself to a very tidy debut goal, taking the ball outside the area, nutmegging the defender and then firing into the corner from 18 yards. But at times his touch was off and he also looked rusty. It would be a major surprise if Kemar Roofe was not brought back into the starting XI for Rotherham on Saturday. 6

Subs:

Mateusz Klich (for Roberts, 68) Brought on to steady the ship, with the Pole eager to get on the ball and drive forward. 6

Gjanni Alioski (for Saiz, 69) Bielsa let Saiz put his legs up for the final 20 minutes, with Alioski offering fresh legs to try and run at a tiring defence. 6

Kemar Roofe (for Bamford, 80) Didn't have time to make an impact, but expect to see him back in the starting line-up on Saturday 6
